A dog? I blink in disbelief. A DOG? No...no no no no...I thought I told Him....
My head thrashes from left to right as I try to convey to Him my fear. I catch a flicker in His eyes as he removes the gag and stares at me.
"MERCY. MERCY. MERCY..." The safeword erupts none too quickly from my parched mouth. My legs tremble spontaneously. My eyes flit from Master to Mike, from Mike to the dog, back to Master so fast they're almost spinning out of control. What have I done? I've got to get out of here NOW, I think to myself, tugging frantically on my restraints.
Master sighs deeply, although I think I can detect a slight twitching of his lips.
"No? You sure?" His eyes move to the dog, "Dutch, look at this, boy, you want a taste?"
He allows the dog to come closer and it sniffs at my pussy, straining against the lead He's holding tightly to.
"MERCYMERCYMERCY!! Please, please don't do this, Master! O please! O my God! He's gonna GET me! Master! Master! NO! NO! Please! O mercy! Mercy!" I'm babbling out of fear, screaming out whatever comes to mind, I'm so scared.
As a child, I'd been badly bitten by a large collie on the right shoulder. Luckily, the physical scars that remained were only thin whitish lines now, but the episode had left such a brand on my mind that every time I saw a large dog, any dog really, I did everything possible to avoid it. They terrified me.
Through His outwardly cavalier attitude I can see surprise at my terror. My Master is a good man with strong character and though He would never intentionally hurt me, He does like to scare me sometimes to enhance our time together.
He told me he was going to push my envelope. so to speak, but I can see that this really threw Him, as it did me.
"Mike, take Dutch to my house, I'll call you later."
"Is she ok?" Mike stares at me, frozen. "Are you ok?" His head thaws suddenly and swings to Master. "Is she ok?" His mouth is open.
"She'll be fine, just get the dog out of here." He looks at me curiously for a moment, then walks Mike and the dog to the door. They speak for a few moments and the door closes behind them.
My chest is still heaving, a sheen of perspiration shining across it. My legs have calmed somewhat, but are still shaking a little.
Master goes straight into the bathroom and turns on the water in the tub, then approaches me, cautiously it seems, and releases my arms and legs. His warm hands uncuff my ice cold ones, and He rubs each one between His for a time to bring back circulation. His eyes are fixed on our hands, avoiding my gaze. He's speechless, I know. So am I.
He stands, takes my hand and leads me to the steaming bath water where He helps me in and I sit, take a deep quivering breath and lie back. I smile a tiny wobbly smile. He added bubbles.
I can't believe what just happened. I can't believe I freaked out like that. I can't believe I didn't tell Him of my fear considering the fact that I've told Him almost everything else about myself.
Breathing a bit easier now, I allow my mind to go blank, to recoup. I splash warm water on my aching muscles, my legs, my belly, my breasts. I feel like an id ten t file. An idiot. I didn't have to go into a complete panic. He probably wouldn't have gone through with it. But why did He go to all that trouble if He wasen't? WAS He???
Would He have? I shake my head a little watching goose bumps appear on my skin.
I feel indignent, offended. He scared the SHIT out of me! But, really, I ask myself, isn't that kind of why you're here? O God. Please don't let me answer myself. Then I'll really be in trouble!
I answer anyway, sneering at myself. You know why you're here! You know you're sub and for now, that's it. Drop it. Shit happens. You know he's a good, sane Man. A bit twisted, but isn't that a good thing?
He is a good guy. I really like Him. A relationship such as ours is unlike any I have encountered, not that there have been many others, but a phenomenal amount of trust is imperative. I have done things with this Man that have never even entered my mind in the past (well, not admittedly) and he has risen to the occasions with aplomb in more ways than one. He pays close attention. He provides me with what I need and want, and I hope I do the same for Him although He never really tells me if I do or not.
Once, he told me, "I told you I thought I was lucky to have found you..." But isn't that a little bit like saying, "But, Honey, I fucked you last month. You mean you want to do it AGAIN???" Sometimes I wonder if that's a Dom thing or a personal trait. Gonna HAVE to get hold of that TopDom manual somewhere.
O God! What if I scared Him away? I sit up and listen closely hoping He's not ten blocks away, running for His life, cell phone in hand, calling Bellevue or something.
Hearing the TV going and the now familiar rustle of the potato chip bag, I sink back. How can He eat at a time like this? Don't answer. Mmkay. Just get out and dry off, and act as though nothing out of the ordinary happened. I need to get home anyway. Sigh.
I stretch out in the tub flat on my back, knees up, wetting my hair. Reaching for my travel size bottle of shampoo, I chuckle. He does keep things rolling, I'll have to give Him that. Just go with it and shut up. Mmkay.
Squeezing the bottle over my palm, I wait for the shampoo to pour out. Nothing happens. I shake the bottle and look suspiciously at the clouds of bubbles growing dangerously close to the edge of the tub as the hot water (thank God for hotel sized water heaters) flows from the tap. Bringing the small bottle close to my eye, I peer into it. It's completely empty.
"You USED all my shampoo!"
"Huh?" He looks up at me, potato chip in midair. He sets the chip down and rises.
Now I'm glaring up at Him.
"Dammit, I wanted to wash my hair! You TOOK my shampoo and used it for BUBBLES when I NEEDED it for my HAIR!"
His eyes narrow. O those blue eyes. I could swim for days in those twin oceans of color. My twitching pussy agrees wholeheartedly.
"Excuse me?"
His narrowed eyes travel lazily from my dripping tangled hair to my water beaded body draped loosely in a towel, to the guilty bubbles adorning my wrinkly waterlogged toes. "Did you say something?"
My strong resolve to let Him have it begins to whither as His voice penetrates my brain.
"I said, You used ...."
"I heard what you said. Now what's your point?"
He pulls the towel from my body effortlessly before I can grab at it, turns me around and begins to pat my back dry.
"I said...er..."
"Mhmm?"
The towel is thrown over my head and He begins to rub it all over, scrubbing the water from my hair vigorously as if I were a child. Now how in the hell am I supposed to talk when my head is being wiggled and wobbled all over the place? Fuming, I snatch the towel from my head and scowl up at Him towering over me. I have to move the hair out of my eyes and I know, I just KNOW I look like a fool. A strand of hair keeps falling in front of my eyes and I have to go "PFFFTTTTTTT" with my breath to blow it away.
He's never seen me like this. Fresh from the shower, no makeup, no nothing. Of course He's seen me totally nude countless times but somehow this is different. I can't read His eyes as they penetrate mine. What's He thinking?
Unable to endure His scrutiny a moment longer, I turn to go back into the bathroom. Two, three, four steps away.
"kitten."
